United Kingdom“A lovely welcome awaits you here, Andrew could not have been more accomodative.
Would recommend for solo females.”
Francis
United Kingdom“Being able to do a quick load of washing and then iron it was a godsend. The breakfast of cereals and toast also very welcome. A four bed dorm means that disturbances are minimised. If you get to the property early enough you may get a parking...”

United Kingdom“Loved the fact I've been made so welcome. Actually stayed for far longer than intended but it did not seem to be a problem at all. Out of town but not too far and just a nice place to recharge batteries.”

We run this along side our private rooms at East of Ipswich Bed & Breakfast.
Hi I’m Andrew, I like to welcome & enjoy meeting new people. I open my home to travellers as a refuge during cycle & walking expeditions, I hope you feel right at home. I live in a separate self contained flat at the property with my partner Araya, you may see us about the property and garden. I try to be there to welcome you, but if for some reason I can't I will send you instructions to help with checking in & finding your bed.
We are in between Ipswich & Woodbridge in the parish to Rushmere St. Andrew. We are just 2 miles from the A14 and the bus stop is opposite us with access to the main towns & train station on Route 66. Close by we have a couple of take away shops, golf course, hospital and a little further away the beautiful River Deben and market town of Woodbridge. We are in a great location to explore Suffolk's coast & countryside.
